‘Every Breath You Take’ – The Police
We all know the legendary track by Police, “Every Breath You Take”. Well it was one of the biggest hits of the ’80s and is still going strong on wedding dance floors around the world. However, we hate to break it to all those loving couples, but despite the seemingly sweet lyrics, the song is about a dark, one-sided love story of obsession and stalking. Sting later said in an interview,“One couple told me, ‘Oh, we love that song; it was the main song played at our wedding!’ I thought, ‘Well, good luck.’” “He took the opportunity to clear up the misunderstood lyrics and added, “I think the song is very, very sinister and ugly, and people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it’s quite the opposite.”

‘Blackbird’ – The Beatles
The legendary song “Blackbird” was one of the most popular Beatles tracks of all time. However the meaning of the song also became a hotbed of discussion for years after its release. While on the surface, it’s easy to see why the song lyrics sound like a trademark Beatles’ love-song, Paul McCartney later cleared up the confusion. In interviews he said the song was inspired and written about the Civil Rights Movement, which was a hot topic in the US at the time.
